church_n have_v be_v and_o be_v so_o visible_a we_o not_o therefore_o they_o be_v the_o true_a church_n of_o christ_n and_o we_o be_v not_o for_o the_o first_o we_o say_v that_o howsoever_o the_o catholic_a 1_o and_o universal_a church_n have_v continue_v from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n and_o shall_v continue_v to_o the_o end_n the_o lord_n shall_v never_o want_v on_o earth_n a_o
